The Gender Equity and Climate Roundtable is meant to encourage conversation around the connection between climate change and gender equity. Though climate change will affect all Bostonians, many Bostonians are more vulnerable to climate change. Climate change will have a greater negative effect on these groups. The Equity Dialogues focus on the most climate vulnerable populations to encourage greater dialogue on the importance of social equity in addressing climate change. This is with the goal of utilizing the conversations to foster greater social resilience among Boston communities.

• older adults
• youth
• people of color
• women
• people with disabilities (mobility, cognitive, sensory), and
• citizens experiencing homelessness.

The conversation will go over the impacts the City is expecting, connect how existing social structures disparately impact women, and how that will impact preparation against climate change. We will then end with a roundtable conversation having communal dialogue around the connection and what we can all do to address the disparities.

The City of Boston's Environment Department and Public Works Department are organizing a cleanup along Melnea Cass Boulevard of Roxbury. The focus of the streets cleanup is to beautify and remove trash from Boston's urbanized areas. A major component of the cleanup will be picking up and disposing of trash in the surrounding area. Volunteers will meet at the intersection of Melnea Cass Boulevard and Tremont Street.

Saturday, August 17, from 9 - 11 a.m.
Intersection of Melnea Cass Boulevard and Tremont Street

Materials distributed will include trash bags and gloves to remove trash. The group will travel along Melnea Cass Boulevard and conclude the cleanup near Massachusetts Avenue. Please remember to bring: 

1. Water
2. Hat
3. Sunglasses
4. Close-toed shoes
5. Bug Spray

This cleanup will spark the conversation of where our waste ends up and how it impacts public health. Volunteers will assist the City in posing these questions and moving us closer closer to our goal of being a zero waste city.

The Environment Department's mission is to enhance the quality of life in Boston by protecting our air, water, and land resources and addressing climate change.
